Foods That Give Your Pancreas a Break - Ask a Nutritionist

February 26, 2026

In this Ask a Nutritionist mini episode, dietitian Teresa Wagner breaks down what your pancreas actually does (hello, blood sugar balance and digestion), how pancreatitis develops, and which everyday food and lifestyle choices either stress or support this hard-working organ. She explains what an anti-inflammatory, real-food way of eating looks like for pancreas health, how to balance protein, carbs, and healthy fats, why alcohol and ultra-processed foods are so hard on the pancreas, and how things like hydration, smaller meals, and digestive enzymes can make a big difference in comfort and healing.
